DIVINE ESTABLISHMENT

Join me to praise the almighty God who brought us to a new month with joy, peace, and hope. No doubt our God has been good to us and deserves our praises and worship. The book of Lamentation 3:22-23 made us understand that it is the Lord’s mercy that kept us and His compassion does not fail for great is His faithfulness.

The Lord has promised to visit us again this month and establish our goings according to His words in 1Peter 5:10 – ‘But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

It is evident that God is the only one who has the full capacity and ability to establish us on all fronts of life; family, marriage, ministry, career, business, battles, etc.

“Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper” 2Chronicles 20:20b

No wonder king David wrote in Psalm 40:1-2: “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. 2. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps”. The scriptures here refer to all areas of lives including permanent victory over sicknesses, diseases, debt, failure, disappointment, pain, sorrow and all forces of darkness.

Dearly beloved, God’s got your back and He will establish you this month in Jesus name. He has the capacity, ability and willingness to bring you out of any form of horrible pit and miry clay. He has done it before and he is still doing the same today. Hebrew 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

He brought Joseph out of the horrible pit of death that his brother threw him into and followed him through imprisonment to establish him in the Palace. He brought the widow of Zarephath out of a horrible pit of debt and lack into abundance, 1Kings 17:8-16. He brought the woman with the issue of blood out of the horrible pit of sickness, shame and debt into health and wholeness, Luke 8:43-48. He brought Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth out of a horrible pit of barrenness and they became joyful mothers of children.

He brought Jabez out of the horrible pit of failure into transformed destiny. 1Chronicles 4:9-10. May that same God bring you out of any horrible pit you may have found yourself in Jesus name. ‘Miry clay’ is not a pleasant situation at all. They represent those things that hinders or resist progress and success, making a man to labor under yokes of stagnation, fruitless efforts, much toiling with little to show for it. God will deliver you from any such miry clay this month in Jesus name.

Meanwhile, there are important conditions you have to fulfill for God to divinely establish you. First, you must believe in the Lord. Hebrew 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”. Secondly learn how to wait patiently for the Lord. This includes seeking Him for His leading and direction on all issues and decisions with patience, total commitment to obeying the word of God and becoming a living sacrifice unto God, Romans 12:1-2. Thirdly, you must be ready to cry to the Lord in fervent prayers regularly. James 5:16 tells us that the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

My prayer is that the almighty God will move you out of a horrible pit and miry clay, and establish all your goings in Jesus name.

God bless you and do have a prosperous new month.
